I once had a plan to read at least one classic novel from (almost) every country, I keep forgetting about it but I really should do it, I usually end up enjoying them

Anyone has any non-western recommendations?

i feel like irish-americans have even less room to claim we are somehow less racist than other white americans. lest we forget about the mind-boggling racism early irish immigrants to america adopted? How opposed they were to the abolition of slavery because they were scared Black people were going to take their jobs? it's an uncomfortable truth but we gotta accept that irish-americans are not only not less racist, we're Extra racist. suffering doesn't make people kinder. it just makes us suffer

The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.

I've been meaning to read this one once my booklist clears up some. But this is that unspoken bit that a lot of people watching Sinners just happily skipped right over when it came to Remmick's identity.

A few weeks ago I made a very exciting purchase. I think most people who like my mouseworld stuff would also enjoy this a lot. Furaha is a project that's really near and dear to my heart, it was the first thing I ever encountered that put a name to what has ultimately been a life long hobby of mine: speculative biology. Check it out if you haven't yet!
